Fill Fuel Tank

THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN,
UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN
TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS.
UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER,
EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD
STARTING BY REDUCING THE BUILD–UP OF
COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. LEADED
GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF UNLEADED IS NOT
AVAILABLE.
Note: Never Use Methanol, Gasoline Containing Methanol,
Gasoline Containing More Than 10% Ethanol, Gasoline
Additives, Premium Gasoline Or White Gas Because
Engine Fuel System Damage Could Result.

Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in.
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand.
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
